A Spitzer Space Telescope Exploration Science Program to Search for Y Dwarf Variability
Michael C. Cushing, Jesica L. Trucks, Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman +10
We present the results of a Spitzer Space Telescope Exploration Science Program to search for and characterize variability in Y dwarfs. We observed 14 Y dwarfs over a 24 hr period…
JWST 1.5 μm and 4.8 μm Photometry of Y Dwarfs
Loïc Albert, Sandy K. Leggett, Per Calissendorff +20
Brown dwarfs lack nuclear fusion and cool with time; the coldest known have an effective temperature below 500 K, and are known as Y dwarfs. We present a James Webb Space Telescope…
The Gaia Ultracool Dwarf Sample -- IV. GTC/OSIRIS optical spectra of Gaia late-M and L dwarfs
W. J. Cooper, H. R. A. Jones, R. L. Smart +20
As part of our comprehensive, ongoing characterisation of the low-mass end of the main sequence in the Solar neighbourhood, we used the OSIRIS instrument at the 10.4 m Gran Telesco…
Thirteen New M Dwarf + T Dwarf Pairs Identified with WISE/NEOWISE
Federico Marocco, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Adam C. Schneider +31
We present the discovery of 13 new widely separated T dwarf companions to M dwarf primaries, identified using WISE/NEOWISE data by the CatWISE and Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project…
